The following are my shortlist options -

1) Sony - 32NX520
Showroom Price : 34,900 (Reduced from 37K, effective 9Dec itseems)
2) Sony - 32CX420

Yes its a 2011 model the previous one was 32C5000
Or if you want a smart TV then you can also have a look at 32D5900 but u need to extend your budget by 3k for that

And remember one thing in local market you can bargain and get a better price than flipkart and letsbuy.Just tell me them anything like "you are getting this particular model from a showroom for this much amount and now you guys(showroom sales person) tell me what price can you offer me"

thanks mate. I will seriously consider Samsung UA32D5000PRMXL

one more question -
My earlier sony CRT tv had a Audio out, that i connected to 5.1 home theater so that TV output could come in home theater.

With this samsung tv also is that possible ?
The specs has the following -
Digital Audio Output (Optical): 1

What does this optical mean ? is it same or different ?

Hi,

If i want my TV audio to be output to home theatre then the audio out of TV has to go in to audio in of the home theatre.

The audio out of TV is optical for
Samsung 32 Inches Full HD LCD LA32D580K4R Television
Samsung 32 Inches Full HD LED UA32D5000PRMXL Television
Samsung 32 Inches Full HD LED UA32D5900VR Television

Whereas the audio out of TV is analog for
Sony Bravia 32 Inches Full HD LCD KLV-32NX520 IN5 Television
Sony Bravia 32 Inches Full HD LCD KLV-32CX420 IN5 Television

The DVD player i have is Philips HTS 3152, which has a analog audio input.

This means that if i purchase samsung TV, i need a digital to analog converter so that the TV audio output can go in to home theatre.

whereas if i purchase a sony tv, then the analog audio out of the tv can go in to the analog audio in of the home theatre without any problems. Earlier i had a sony crt tv and this is how it was connected and i had no issues.

This requirement means i would be going for SONY TV.

ROCK,
My DVD player has only analog audio out.

Murali

@pmk316
Get the Sony Bravia 32 Inches Full HD LCD KLV-32NX520
My cousin uses this and its pretty much VFM.The panel looks attractive and the TV has CCFL Backlight.For 35K its absolutely a steal.

in this digital world you are going for analog

if you buy a sony tv you'll have to buy media player because Sony tv does not read ntfs partition

samsung is more value for money than any other tv brands

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for your response.

I had been to the CHROME showroom in indiranagar today.

I had a look at SONY 32NX520 and SAMSUNG D580.
I was impressed at D580 w.r.t to the sound system.

The guy told me that SONY supports Ext HDD of 500GB whereas
SAMSUNG supports up to 1TB.

Looking at the picture quality/cost/sound clatiry i liked SAMSUNG
more than SONY.

I wont be going for 32D5000 as it costs more than 5K and we all know
about LED being not a true LED but LCD-LED only.

I think i will book SAMSUNG D580 and that too though FLIPKART.

Regards,
Murali

The NX520 is based on the Be3 processor so it should read NTFS partioned HDD.

you are wrong

ntfs also missing in their(sony) top models
Click to expand...

NTFS is missing in their Top End Models due to X-Reality.The lower end BE3 models support NTFS.
Also another thing missing in the Top End models is the ability to play MKV files while MKV works flawlessly on Sony's lower end models.

Hi,

The showroom person told me
Sony - 32NX520
* supports only 500gb external hard disk.
* all the files should be present in only ONE folder or else it wont be recognized

Samsung - LA32D580K4R
* supports up to 1TB external hard disk
* no limitation on how files are stored on the hard disk

i am not sure whether this is correct or not. If somebody owns any of the above two models, please confirm whether the above is true or not.

I have booked Samsung - LA32D580K4R via FLIPKART, waiting for its arrival.
